Speaking of birthdays, it was my birthday over the weekend, turned a thousand
0:04
years old, So thank you for all for the birthday wishes. Very nice.
0:06
You're silly young, thirty three, one third of Bob Barker. That's
0:11
how what a way to look at it. But it's all I can think
0:17
about. Oh my gosh. Yeah, obviously if I live to be half
0:21
that old, it'd be great. But here, so Sunday Packers play perfect
0:24
birthday get from me, Like, what a fun way to celebrate. So
0:27
we got to the bar, spend a day watching all of these games,
0:30
right, and so end up at my buddy's house and it's time to go
0:33
home. So I get an uber responsible boy. I like it, right,
0:37
So I get in the car obviously, like I said, pretty full,
0:40
right, yep, very tired. Also it's very late time. It's
0:43
like it's like midnight. But you know, again, got to the bar,
0:45
like eleven thirty, so it's like a full day. So get in
0:48
the car and not far from where I live, like we're talking about like
0:52
a five six minute drive. In that amount of time, I managed to
0:55
pass out completely. One of those things where you wake up and you're at
0:59
your your well I wake up to the shrewd sounds of a man screaming at
1:03
me, aman, screaming like get out of my car, but get out
1:08
of my car. You're home. And I go, I'm just like jarred
1:12
away. I go, well, how long has he been trying to wake
1:15
you up? Well, now that's a point of contention here, because he
1:19
said three times, he said he tried. He told me three times already,
1:25
And I go, I know I was asleep, but I would have
1:26
heard you, okay. And so even then, I'm like, why would
1:30
you resort to this screaming just like wake me up and tell me to get
1:34
out? It sounds like he was was he touching you know? Well he
1:38
was in the front. I was in the back. Now he was not,
1:40
okay, got I wasn't if he was doing like the like rattling you
1:44
like, young man, it's time to get up? Can we get can
1:49
we get an age on this? Gentleman? The older man, probably your
1:51
retired dude, just driv an uber in his free time, annoyed with you
1:53
on a Sunday night. So I know, I'm like boiling, just piping
1:57
hot, because I'm like in no circumstance. So I feel like it's necessary
2:00
to scream like that if I was throwing up in your car or you know,
2:02
peeing my pants or something. Sure it wasn't just a loud talker like,
2:06
hey, get out of my car. You could tell this dude hated.
2:08
I don't know, maybe something I try to get people the benefit of
2:10
the doubt. Maybe somebody had just like I don't know, he kicked his
2:15
dog or something. He was just something something had him upset. And I
2:17
liked think it wasn't just run guy in the back of his car and wake
2:22
up. That's what you're It's midnight, you're driving, uber, What do
2:23
you think? Who do you think is crawling in the backseat? Okay,
2:28
So I get mad. So then when I get inside and on the way
2:30
out the doors, we're arguing about how many times he yelled at me Already
2:35
I said, I just said all right, one star, thank you,
2:38
and just slammed the door. And so I get upstairs and I'm like,
2:39
I'm not I can't let this go, you know, So I'm gonna call
2:43
him. So I, oh, you did not? Have you learned anything
2:46
about picking up the phone after having cocktails? Have you? Oh? It's
2:50
always a good idea. So I have to report a while. I say
2:53
I lost a night him, because that's the only way to like get ahold
2:55
of the guys. Really, he answers the phone and he goes, did
3:01
you lose an item? And I go, hey, And this was the
3:07
most annoying part. I'm not without saying his name, but okay, he
3:12
answered. He answers the phone, and I looked back at my app to
3:15
see what the guy's name was. Let's say his name was on the app
3:17
and said Jonathan, okay for example. So he answered the phone. I
3:22
go, is this Jonathan? And he goes, no, it is John.
3:27
I go, okay, okay, same guy. I'm guessing. I'm
3:30
like, regardless, are you the guy that gave me a ride ten minutes
3:34
ago? Because guess what, I'm wide awake everybody, Well, guess who?
3:40
And so we get we get back into it about how many times now,
3:45
Amanda, his story has changed from he yelled three times for me to
3:49
get out of the car. Now it's five. And say, I say,
3:52
well, John or Jonathan, whatever the heck you're going by. Now
3:57
your story seems to be changing. And so we go back fourth for a
4:00
bit, and what Pike I just said, I just said it was the
4:03
most it was the like I've never experienced anything like that. Just so I
4:10
was good man, I didn't I didn't call anyone names, you know.
4:13
But for my part, I'm a four point nine two stars Ubert driver.
4:16
Okay, historically a pretty pleasant passenger. Yeah, you just decided to take
4:20
a little snooze, oh my gosh, which to me is like the most
4:24
innocent thing. Like I said, I wasn't throwing up. I just like
4:27
closed my eyes. I didn't want to talk. Obviously, I love you,
4:30
I do, but I think that you were probably okay call just like
4:35
a song. Yeah, and the guy was probably Pike a few times three
4:41
or five, couldn't have been ten tbd, like in a minute in the
4:47
morning, big nutty eight point seven. Do we heat things up? Because
4:50
I have a story about a wife who's gone viral because she's a mom of
4:55
three. Her name is Rachel Bailey Shocking. She would reveal her first and
4:59
last name here because she admits that she enjoys breastfeeding her husband's right. Huh.
5:08
Now, just to confirm I wanted to get awkward here, Amanda,
5:11
you do not breastfeed your husband. I do not. Ye, no,
5:14
I struggled breastfeeding just in general. And did you have formula babies? I
5:17
did have formula babies and guess what, they turned out just fine. So
5:20
why would so he's he's actually the one who's doing it. It's not for
5:27
the kids, Like he's not helping her breastfeed. Well you do seeing those
5:30
things where people can latch them on, and like the sad helps what you're
5:33
talking, she's breastfeeding him because she said that when she was breastfeeding, she
5:38
was in so much pain. She was scared about getting an infection. Apparently
5:42
that's the thing. Yeah, right, So she needed to get rid of
5:46
the milk, and so she had him try and well, he began after
5:50
some time to prefer his wife's milk over that of a cow. So now
5:56
she says, quote, I love breastfeeding him as it allows us to bend
6:00
quality time together. Get out of here. I can't no squeeze it out
6:04
for him. That well, that's what I'm saying. Do you need a
6:08
human on the other end or can't we Just like you know, there's a
6:11
lot of different ways that you can get that milk out, so it's not
6:14
totally necessary it's absolutely one, not necessary if you want it. You know,
6:18
I'm just getting a visual. I'm just envisioning like you're putting the kids
6:24
down, you know, like it's like, okay, Daddy's turn. I
6:27
know, I just can't. I just got me the most. I don't
6:30
know if I'm asculating is the word, but just like to be in that
6:33
position. Well then is it just the milk or is it like, do
6:38
you prefer your kids are sitting down this morning for breakfast cheerios in the morning.
6:48
I want you to think about the cheapest person that you know, and
6:51
maybe it's you, Maybe you're the cheapest person you know. But what's something
6:55
they do, something extreme that they do to save money. Oh my gosh.
6:59
I love my stepdad, but he falls right into this. Lance pans,
7:03
Yeah, the things he does is wild. Yeah, well yeah,
7:06
I want to hear about it. But seven seven, if you got something
7:10
that comes to mind, let us now call us text us. But what
7:13
does Lance do? What's the cheapest thing he does? So he unplugs everything,
7:16
I mean, the microwave, toaster. He makes coffee outside in the
7:20
summer, just because he doesn't want it to get hot in the house.
7:24
Coffee, like like the coffee is gonna heat everything up clothesline, which is
7:29
totally fine. But even when I'm there, we spent you might know this
7:32
a lot of time there this summer, sure, And so I always put
7:35
everything in the dryer, And every single time I'd start the dry and take
7:39
it out, go put it in the clothesline. But the worst for me,
7:43
he rewat he washes red solo cups. No, yeah, no,
7:47
that was that was plastic silverware. What about all of it? If let's
7:51
say a paper plate is lightly used. Oh, I'm sure he dusted off.
7:56
Not in front of me, of course, No. But there are
7:58
times that I think he's digging through that garbage after I leave, because he
8:03
recycles everything everything. I didn't realize it was this bad. Oh my gosh.
8:07
Absolutely everything he will go through and make sure that it's where it needs
8:11
to be. It's crazy. And my wife is one of these unplugging types
8:15
too, Like every day she'll unplug the phone charger, and I get so
8:18
annoyed when you just go to use something and it's unplugged. I'm like,
8:20
what does it matter? Because I just read think about that. I want
8:24
to say, like, you know, the amount of money you would save
8:26
in a year just by even something like turning the lights off, which we
8:30
all grew up thinking or being taught that you got to turn the lights off,
8:33
but it would save you like pennies a year. Yeah, we have
8:37
a house that has a lot of natural light in it. Yesterday was the
8:41
first time because we've been either not home or haven't really had it get dark
8:45
before we've gone to bed turned on our lights. I'm like, oh,
8:48
this is interesting. Yikes. A friend of mine used to use a plastic
8:52
sandwich bag as a wallet. Somebody wrote, Okay, that's funny. Uh,
8:58
speaking of wallets, I have like I might as well be using a
9:00
plastic pag as wallet. I'm so velcro. I'm getting cheaper the older I
9:05
get. But yeah, I look at this wallet every day, multiple times
9:07
a day. Everything I own falls out of it. And I you know,
9:09
I got the George Gastanza thing going. I got like a thousand cards
9:13
in here. Gosh. Yeah, maybe a belated birthday gift. We can
9:16
get you a new wallet, that would be nice. I think I did
9:18
ask for a wallet. What did you get for your birthday? Just a
9:22
nice day? I don't want anything this is how cheap I am. I
9:24
told my wife, do not buy me anything. No, I get it.
9:26
I'm gonna get because we have the same bank account. I'm like,
9:28
it's me buying something for myself. Now you get you don't give me such
9:33
a hard time about it. But yes, I'm not. Like, don't
9:35
worry about it. Hate gifts. Back in college, we would go to
9:37
fast food restaurants to eat and one guy would get a burger or something and
9:41
that's it. But then he would just pick at other people's fries, and
9:43
towards the end of the meal, he'd grab someone's cup and go up and
9:46
get himself a refill of soda. This sounds like me. That totally sounds
9:50
like you. Well, it's it's more. It's not that I'm cheap.
9:54
It's just I don't like other people wasting food. And I know from experience
9:56
everybody like always leaves a little something on the play. Yeah. No,
10:00
you're the guy who goes and gets a cup of soup and then eats everybody
10:03
else's food when clean up duty. Yeah, it's just saving Absolutely. My
10:09
sister would invite me over to dinner and didn't put any sauce in the pasta
10:13
because she said it was quote a waste of money to use sauce. Oh
10:18
on pasta, Come on now, so what are you doing? Just butter
10:22
butter? I feel like probably cheaper at this point than butter at some point.
10:26
But my grandma was one of the like you know, born probably during
10:30
the Great Depression or whatever. And so when we were cleaning her house that
10:33
when she was moving to the nursing home, she had so much, so
10:35
much expired food, and in her freezer we found bags and bags of fruit,
10:41
like half eaten slices of pizza that she was freezing. This is seriously,
10:46
Lance Pants, I go through his stuff. Yes, Nick made a
10:50
pork ross kind of something like a pork butt for the fourth of July.
10:54
Yeah, for the fourth of July. I haven't looked at a calendar today,
10:58
but that was some months ago to day weekend. Nick had made another
11:03
one. And I'm like, oh, here, Lance is gonna be driving
11:05
potato truck. Let's put together some little meals and put him in the freezer.
11:07
What do you mean driving just a quick clear? He drives potato truck.
11:11
This time shared got you. He looks me dead in the eye and
11:15
he goes Manna Manna, I still got some of that left over from Fourth
11:20
of July. I'm I go down and he takes it out of the plastic
11:24
container and then heats it up, and then he puts it back and then
11:28
he eats it. How are you not, like Dale, what's happening here?
11:35
Yes, that's incredible fourth of July. He's just what Well, my
11:39
grandma's the pizza. These half been slice of pizza. We're like years old.
11:43
She put the date on the ziplock. Day old pizza is hard to
11:46
eat, let alone frozen. And then where are you putting that? What's
11:48
you got? What's it the cheapest person? You know? Maybe it's you.
11:50
What's the cheapest thing they do to save money? Seven seven in the
11:56
morning. A little mom hack for you if you are traveling with young children
12:05
and amandya, I know, like over the weekend. You just did you
12:07
have the kids this weekend? We left them at home. This was an
12:09
adult trip, by the way, bike that's the travel hack, by the
12:13
way, Yeah, leave the kids, my kids at home. I was
12:16
gonna say, we only stopped. It's a seven hour drive to where we
12:18
were going in Iowa. We stopped one time on the way there. It
12:22
was just really it was miraculous. You guys need to hydrate better. And
12:26
there was a couple of times I turned around. I'm like, kids,
12:30
it's just weird, like home alone field. Yeah, you're going, oh,
12:33
hey, what's going on? Well, this this mom is going viral
12:35
on a TikTok, which is a new app where she's talking about what she
12:39
does when she travels with her two young toddlers. Excuse me, oh gosh,
12:43
I mean intrigued because I'm up for any hack because it gets to be
12:46
a little crazy. I imagine if you're traveling, you already have a lot
12:50
of clothes for yourself, but if you have all your kids clothes too.
12:52
This woman took one of these like shoe compartment things, you know, something
12:58
you would hang over the door. Yeah, like one of the classic shoe
13:00
bags. Correct costs about eight bucks. She says she brings that on the
13:03
trip and stuffs her kids outfits in each compartment because then you don't have to
13:07
basically, you don't have to find every digging through Where is Sydney's socks?
13:13
Where's briggs underwear? Does he wear underwear? I don't even know. Yeah,
13:15
it's all of those things because the clothes are so little, and if
13:18
you are trying to pack the whole family in a suitcase, I can see
13:20
how that would be really easy. A lot of people saying it was brilliant,
13:24
say I'm going to use this for my own hospital stay. I don't
13:28
know why they were going to the hospital, but I do this for my
13:30
kids for school, so outfits are ready every day, and I'm sitting there
13:33
thinking this could actually change my life in a positive way. Yeah, you'd
13:37
probably need like a I think of how big our clothes are compared to little
13:39
kids, because they'll sh shoe things aren't so I mean, I feel like
13:41
I could stuff in outfit. I kind of roll it in. I don't
13:45
need to throw pants in there because I just wear the same ones every day
13:48
anyway, so no need for that. No, but I'm with you picking
13:52
out kids outfits and going through that. I know my husband when you say
13:56
this as a mom hack, my husband would love this because Sid went through
14:00
a stage where every morning it was like three or four different outfits. And
14:03
now she's kind of over that. She's like, Okay, I'm gonna wear
14:07
what I want. She's grown out of a bid. Now. Briggs his
14:09
problem is must be a boy thing. He wants to wear the same outfit
14:13
every day. Really, see he's smart. It was like two weeks ago
14:16
I picked him up, like still in that same blue tank top and every
14:20
day he's like blue tank top, blue tank top. Like you can't wear
14:26
the blue tank top every day? Break, So you're just why not?
14:28
Sometimes you just get that perfect fitting, comfortable shirt and it's just like why
14:33
why were ruining a bad thing that's working for you. It's just funny because
14:35
and then you have sid He was like, I wore that seven weeks ago,
14:39
Mom, I can't possibly wear that like in a minute in the morning
14:46
on Big Nutty eight point seven, get ready ready, let's heifs aday no,
14:52
Amanda steals that sea. Let's see. Kevin Federline moved his kids to
15:00
Hawaii, and we thought it is this strategic? Are you doing this?
15:03
Because there was a rumor that his kids, who are seventeen and sixteen,
15:07
would actually end up getting child support tell they were what twenty as long as
15:11
they were in school. And we're like, hey, that sounds like a
15:13
convenient loophole. Yeah, no, kidding, seemed a little suspicious, but
15:18
we are finding out that the oldest, Shawn Press, who's seventeen, is
15:22
going to be eighteen this week, so he's going to be losing out on
15:24
twenty thousand dollars a month in child support. Don't worry, He'll still get
15:28
another twenty thousand dollars for the youngest son, half of his income a couple
15:33
our years. It's just crazy to me. We're fighting out though, that
15:37
since he has had custody of them one hundred percent of the time, that
15:39
he might go back to court and fight for more because he has them one
15:43
hundred percent of the time, and this is a fifty fifty agreement, so
15:46
what would be eighty thousand dollars is what he would or she would have had
15:50
to pay back. So beyond crazy, I mean, it's just so dad.
15:54
And meanwhile, she's got hers have a new boyfriend, Ryan, who
15:58
kind of looks like Kevin Federal Line. Nothing wrong with having a type.
16:03
Oh she's yeah. Sam was cute though more of like that muscular kind of
16:07
build or whatever. But this guy not muscular. I don't know this guy.
16:10
He's just your average show whatever. As long as Brittany's happy. I
16:15
don't know what's going on there. I know, maybe she's just having a
16:18
good time. Did you see her last post she took a break for like
16:22
three days. Yeah, I didn't. These new shoes she's wearing. Did
16:27
I go off on her shoes now? I can't. I mean, everybody's
16:32
worried about the cleavage, the cheetah print, these nude heels, and they're
16:36
like chunky. I just I mean, I get nude goes with everything,
16:40
but come on, but they're chunky, just bulky, shoot like kind of
16:44
they just I don't know, Well, that's what I'm mean. Used to
16:48
get it together, it sounds like. And people are upset with Amy Schumer
16:52
after she made fun of Nicole Kidman at the US Open and a now deleted
16:56
Instagram post she had showed this picture of her basically intense watching the game.
17:00
That's all it really was, and she captured it this how humans sit.
17:06
Oh fired back, Nicole Kimman's an alien basically pretending to be human? Sure,
17:11
And people fired back, are you really cyberbullying her right now? You're
17:15
a woman who supports the clay mother women, why are you doing this?
17:18
And then she decided she was not only going to respond to this, but
17:22
she was going to try to be funny. Just not a good thing here.
17:26
He's been trying to be funny for years. It's not working out.
17:30
I have a lot of friends that love her, same for me everyone,
17:33
So I'm like, Okay, she just does not do it for me.
17:36
She says. I want to apologize to all the people I hurt by posting
17:38
a photo of Nicole Kidman and alluding to her being an alien. I will
17:42
be asking the cast off that seventy show to write letters advocating for my forgiveness.
17:47
Just why speak of the devils? And I don't see this story going
17:53
anywhere. Ashton Kutcher now facing criticism over old interviews that are resurfacing. One
17:57
of them was from two thousan three. It was an episode of Punked where
18:00
Ashton says Hillary Duff, who was sixteen at the time, is one of
18:04
those girls we're all waiting to turn eighteen, along with the Olds and Twins
18:08
who were seventeen at the time. And then blast from the Past. Remember
18:11
Rosie O'Donnell. Oh, I loved the Rosy show. She yeah, I
18:15
had her show back in two thousand and two, and Ashton and Mila showed
18:19
up for an interview. It is so awkward. Okay, I never kissed
18:22
it thought I was so, I mean, you know, ashe was attractive
18:26
and I was a fourteen year old little girl and I was extremely scared for
18:27
my life. Sure, I know, he was very nice about He was
18:30
like, oh, don't worry. So I was like, okay. Then
18:33
Danny goosting, I'll give you ten dollars if you French kiss her. So
18:37
Danny bets me like twenty bucks that I wouldn't do it in the four So
18:40
I'm like, yeah, sure, what to do? Yeah, and then
18:41
the cops showed up and he got arrested him pretty much so, Danny Masterson,
18:45
convicted rapist is betting his adult friend twenty bucks to stick his tongue downy
18:52
fourteen year old's throat. Yeah, we're supposed to just act like that's totally
18:56
fine. Rosie was going along with the no big deal. I don't know,
19:00
it's gross. And those two are so annoying the fact that they're married
19:03
now. Still I used to think it was cute, but I'm like,
19:04
I don't know, now you're over, things are kind of annoying. Well,
19:07
everything about this is just really interesting to see how it's going to play
19:11
out. Because Ashton Kutcher apparently had some sort of conversation with Danny Masterson a
19:15
few weeks ago, and now there's somebody who is making claims like I have
19:18
this. I was there, I can hear, I know the audio.
19:22
So kind of feels like a little bit of a blackmail situation. But well,
19:26
there's more to come from. I missed the story where they wrote letters,
19:30
right because I guys, you know, yeah, blown a point two
19:33
since Thursday, So I missed this one. I know you had a big
19:36
birthday weekend, but they basically ended up writing a character letter, Oh god,
19:41
for the judge to read, not a good lot, not realizing probably
19:45
because the family had asked, hey, you guys have been friends for thirty
19:48
years. Can you just help the situation a little bit so he wouldn't maybe
19:52
get thirty years to life? Yeah? No, good? Like in a
19:56
minute in the morning, get up seven are we're talking about the cheapest person
20:03
you know, and the things they do to save money, like a man
20:06
to step dad, a lance who's I had no idea, but this might
20:08
be the cheapest man I've ever encountered. Yeah no, it's crazy. I
20:11
mean he reuses red solo cups. We actually seven two eight ninety eight seven
20:15
feel free to chime in. Got a text from somebody they have gone to
20:18
people's houses and they can visibly tell that they are reusing paper plates, Like,
20:23
oh sure, I just I can't imagine it. Well, paper,
20:29
If you're using paper plates, you're doing the opposite of being cheap. I
20:32
mean that's lazy. Like I love using paper plates just because it just throw
20:36
it away. It's not the cheapest thing to do. One person said they're
20:40
very wealthy. Ex boyfriend would buy clothes, wear them, and then return
20:44
them anytime he went out or had an event. I thought about this,
20:48
What is stopping people from doing this? I think a lot of places just
20:51
make you have in store credit now because they know that this is a thing.
20:55
A lot of people buy, like family photo pictures and then they leave
20:57
the tags on them and going and return them. No, you cannot do
21:00
that, well you, I mean apparently you can know some places don't.
21:03
They just have more like liberal return policies. I guess yeah you have to
21:07
because I mean if it's a one time event, I mean, what's stopping
21:11
you from going to get yourself full? Little Gucci We also posted this on
21:18
our Facebook page, A Lisa, one of our top fans, said,
21:19
steal stacks of napkins from restaurants and use them as toilet paper. They actually
21:25
put them on this side, side side of the toilet, like that's what
21:29
you're gonna be using. Not a chance for toilet paper. Yes, even
21:33
just cheap toilet paper is a struggle bus for me, absolutely trying to get
21:37
it off of there, like the one ply you're like, okay, come
21:40
on, yeah, I'll sporage on toilet paper and paper towels. I very
21:45
much use paper towels like liberally. Yeah. There is somebody else chiming in
21:51
here saying that they have a family that they know that uses the same bathwater.
21:55
The first person goes and then they go through the lineup of their family.
21:57
That's the same away I've I've ever heard water, I know. I
22:02
think that's my nature in general, are disgusting. I mean, sitting there
22:06
in a tempered fool of your own filth. Now you're sharing it with mom
22:11
and dad that way, that's so gross. Yeah, especially if mom decides
22:15
I'm gonna shave my legs today. Sorry. Kids. So I'm not a
22:18
big like you know, at hot tubs. You gotta have the jets on,
22:22
because as soon as those jets come off, it's like, oh a
22:26
group bath, bath with friends love it. Speaking of that Emma chiming insane
22:30
When people shower in Big Detroit during we fus, y'all know how nasty that
22:34
is? Right? Like, Oh, I guess so that that's a swimmer's
22:40
itch, Like everybody's right, Is that what that is? I don't know.
22:44
I mean I feel like I just am getting over swimmers itch. It's
22:47
not that bad. I go back and forth if if if showering in a
22:49
lake is like you're better off just not, or if that is it's water.
22:55
I don't know. Yeah, I guess. I mean, I'll be
22:57
honest with you. We'll show up on a third day and my bath is
23:00
just the lake basically Sunday when I get home in take a real shower.
23:06
This One person said they had a friend who worked at a grocery store and
23:08
said that there was an elderly man who used to come in and peel bananas
23:14
and then put them in a plastic bag before weighing them and paying. So
23:18
just lightning the load of bananas. Is that even legal at that point?
23:23
Just beat the banana, old man, just steal it. Okay, if
23:29
you're going to that length, just have it. Oh man, I got
23:37
nothing. There's something you ever you ever help yourself to, like a handful
23:44
of nuts? What do you mean? I know this is probably okay.
23:47
Sorry, let me add some context. Can't you clarify? I mean I
23:51
did have some trail mix the other well this one time in call No the
23:57
grocery, you know, the olave cart nuts section. You do not dig
24:03
your fingers in there and do that what Yeah, in I think my mom
24:07
did growing up, So that's right. I learned a bad habit there.
24:11
I like, I get annoyed if my kids want to open something right away,
24:15
I'm like, no, you gotta pay forward first, because I always
24:17
just feel like, oh really yeah. With my sister when she was younger,
24:19
in the cart, like my mom would just open a thing of like
24:22
vanilla wafers and just give them do it. I'm like mom, and I
24:26
get so anxious. I'm like, wait till we leave. This is embarrassing.
24:29
No, they snack time as we're going through in the morning. Big
24:33
nutty eight points seven. The research is in. You know, it's one
24:36
of my favorite things. To do is discuss with people fast food restaurants,
24:38
because I find myself eating quite a lot of fast food. Amanda. I
24:41
don't know if you've noticed. Yeah, you you've always been a big fan
24:45
of MacDonald's. That's kind of your big thing because you have the app for
24:48
it, right, and you always talk about how cheap it is. It's
24:49
a great app. You know. I'm not getting paid to say that,
24:52
but it is great. Well, so they did a study to find the
24:55
top five fast food chains in America, all right, so there's based on
24:59
quality, how much people like them, their menu and number five Wendy's.
25:03
I love me some Wendy's. I would say it's good and I'll eat anything.
25:07
But this one seems surprising to me really because noticeably absent from the list,
25:12
Amanda is Arby's. Oh see, I would put. I'd put Arbies
25:17
and Wendy's for sure on that list. Burger King kind of has bumped down
25:21
for me. I had a bad experience recently with the food or the people.
25:26
Nick had. It happened a couple of weeks ago, and then I
25:27
had it. It was the same thing. Yep, don't need to go
25:30
there, but I still I still love it like I love a good whopper.
25:33
But for Wendy's, they're chicken nuggets to me. Oh they're good,
25:36
and well they're they're so cheap. I don't know how to get away with
25:38
sound. It's like ten nuggets for a dollar. Yeah, they're spicy nugs
25:41
too. Oh. At that point, I literally don't care what the quality
25:45
is. It could be like chicken from a tube, doesn't matter. Number
25:48
four is Chick fil A. Speaking of chicken, I'm terrible. I never
25:52
go there. You know. It's always so busy, that's the thing.
25:56
But isn't it kind of a deceiving because yes, it's busy, but it
25:59
goes super fast. Yeah. Down. I don't know what the qualifications are
26:03
to work there, but you got to have your stuff together, you do.
26:06
Yeah, you can just be any shmow up the street. Number three
26:08
is In and Out Burger. Of course, we don't have one here.
26:11
Have you ever been to one? Though? I've had it, and I
26:12
kind of feel like it's anything you're going. You're like disappointed it's fast food.
26:17
I mean it's exactly. You're never like there's just this this myth gets
26:22
built around it because we don't have it. You hear about it, and
26:25
obviously it's over on like the West coast, right, so there's just you
26:27
know, a lot of people I do eat it. It's much like Sonic.
26:30
If you're like me, you remember growing up here and you always saw
26:33
the national commercials and it looks so cool, and of course their commercials are
26:37
really good. And then they built one here and I think it's still there,
26:41
but yeah, there's I think there's another one coming too, Is that
26:42
right? Yes, because I've been there once maybe, And not to say
26:45
it's not good food. I just for me, it feels like it's kind
26:48
of the location getting in and out of there. Funny. So you were
26:51
on vacation last week and we were talking actually today at launches, we might
26:53
need to have intern Grace to go over to Wendy. Is they have this
26:56
Pumpkins spice frosty. I saw that, James. It never had a frosty
27:00
before, and I'm thinking, oh my gosh, this is gonna be life
27:03
changing. I mean that's what he said. It goes. It's kind of
27:07
like a dairy queen. Jake, what well it is? Yeah, it
27:11
just doesn't frost east to me have a different vibe anyway, it's different,
27:15
a little frost excited about it. No, well, how is the pumpkin
27:19
spice? That sounds okay, it's launching I think today, so I haven't
27:22
tried it yet. Oh really? Yeah? Well Number two was was dairy
27:26
queen on the Best fast food chains in America. So good. I would
27:30
say, it's just a solid menu, good burgers, good chicken, chicken
27:33
strips, baskets, chicken strips with the gravy and whatever they do to that
27:37
bread, I'm sure it's just like disgusting margarine that's put on it. But
27:41
when you dunk that in with a gravy, well, Texas toast. Yes,
27:45
now it's four hundred dollars for a combo, but that doesn't matter.
27:48
Number one is who else take a guess? Let's hear it. McDonald's number
27:52
one again for me, a little overrated. Sometimes you wonder about that.
28:00
I mean, I feel like a Big Mac used to be so good,
28:02
and how you get it? You're like Big Max, and I again love
28:04
McDonald's. Big Max are not good? Okay, it's the worst option on
28:08
the menu. Well, that extra piece of bread. Sometimes I'm like,
28:11
this is it's just kind of a little dry. There's pittily little. You
28:15
know, the patties aren't as big as like the quarter pounder. It's all
28:18
lettuce. I don't know why they put so much shredded lettuce on there,
28:21
but it's the messiest thing you'll eat, you know. Yeah, No,
28:23
it's it's gonna leave some u let us between your seats. If you're driving
28:27
in the car, you don't get lettuce between your seats. Absolutely, my
28:32
car is half a lettuce at this point in the morning. Seven you suspect
28:38
a thing when hear that telephone fikes fraen fucky never let us listen, fie
28:48
freend arrested. I This one was nominated by this guy Greg. His girlfriend
28:56
thought it'd be funny just to hear how her boyfriend would react. He's a
28:59
customer of this guy a cell phone store. Okay, thirteenth, this is

29:32

29:34

29:40

29:51
Greg. How can I help you? What? What? What do you
29:52

29:56
is a This is the second time you've called a store here? Is this
29:59
something I can help you with? Are you having an issue with your account?
30:02
I don't really have time to be horsing around like this, Greg,
30:04
So if you could just go ahead and stop calling me? Thanks, No,
30:07
I understand, sir. We're very very busier at the store. Let
30:11
me try him again here on thirteenth. This is Greg. How can I
30:19
help you? Oh my god, you gotta be kidding me? What sir?
30:23
This is? This is your third phone call? Now my third call?
30:27
Yes, sir, this is sir. You've called the store three times?
30:30
All right? I'm just if I could actually just you know, stop
30:33
stop crank, stop harassing us. We're very busier. It's a store.
30:37
I'm happy to help you if you're a customer, but you just can't keep
30:40
calling us stop calling you. Is this some sort of a prank call of
30:44
some kind or what's this is exactly what a prank call sounds like. Sir.
30:47
I'm sitting here minding my own business, and you're calling my phone and
30:52
this is your third call. This is your call. So this is your
30:56
third call, back to back to back. All right, we did not
31:00
time for this. All right? You really today? Thank you? Yeah,
31:03
don't call back. You don't call me back. How's that sound,
31:06
sir? Don't call that? Swear to gun if you call me again,
31:07
Greg, I have your number. I will turn this over. Yeah,
31:11
same to you. And and I don't know what's going on. I don't
31:14
know why you're calling me At this point. I would love for you to
31:17
walk through the front door. I bet you like that. Greg. All
31:18
right, I'm not playing any more of your reindeer games, no, sir.
31:22
I'm going to talk to your boss and you're gonna be in a lot
31:26
of trouble. Okay, sir. If you call us one more time,
31:29
I have your number, We're going to turn you over to the authorities.
31:32
They deal with thols like us all the time. Can't do that. This
31:36
is what got me into this mess. In the first place, Greg,
31:38
do not call the cops, because I'm pretty sure I still I'm still on
31:42
probation. This is Pike and Amanda in the Morning. I big night here
31:45
point seven. You were right, we were praying calling you, but my
31:48
god, do not call the cops. Okay, Okay, what do I
31:51
do to you? That's a really good question, A really good question.
31:55
Greg. It was your girlfriend reached out to us on Facebook and she just
32:00
wanted us to prank you. She didn't have a reason why. He just
32:01
thought it would be funny to hear how you would react. And I mean,
32:05
you were a really chipper sales guy until the fourth and of course I
32:09
do my best to maintain my professionalism. Well you nailed it, and and
32:14
yes I have been bored here. So fact, the whole reason we do
32:17
these prank calls is because I once did actually make one and it was reported
32:22
to the authorities, and now I have a misdemeanor on my record. So
32:25
oh I can't. Let's not do that again. So you're fine, You're
32:30
fine, Thank you, fine, Amanda in the Morning. Seven. Oh,
32:39
that was tough to watch last night. Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, he
32:43
made his debut, and he only made it four plays into the game before
32:46
he suffered a serious injury. They're still thinking that it's Achilles tendont. They're
32:51
going to do an MRI this morning, but it's really looking like that and
32:53
that's gonna be it for the season here. I think he signed a two
32:57
year contract, so it's like, is that his career? He's four years
33:00
old. Is that an injury you want to come back from? Never even
33:01
thought about it being the end of his career, I know, And it
33:05
would be such a sad, terrible way for Dan because I love him.
33:07
I'm a Packer fan, you know, it's a big pretty much half of
33:10
my life consisted me rooting for Aaron Rodgers and a lot of happiness, a
33:15
lot of happy times we had together. Yeah, and you never want to
33:16
see somebody who is that talented, whether you like him or not, whatever
33:20
team they play for, just go out like that. The head coach did
33:22
allude to it last night, though he says it's just not good. They
33:25
ended up winning in overtime twenty two to sixteen against the Bills, but it's
33:30
just like this, it's for how excited they were. I can imagine being
33:34
a Jets fan and just like all that months and months of excitement and build
33:38
up, Yes, everything's Oh, he came out of the darkness. I
33:43
mean they had this whole like vignette ready to go about their saga, and
33:46
I mean basically alluding to the fact that they've got it put together so good
33:51
here that this could be a Super Bowl win, it could be bam.
33:53
Yeah, yeah, I feel bad. Hate to see him. May.
33:58
Yesterday we found out Josh him and his wife Audra are expecting a baby.
34:01
Audre made the announcement on Instagram with a sonogram yester day. She said,
34:06
baby Jamal is coming soon. My favorite part of this. So Josh's ex
34:08
Fergy commented and she said, I am truly happy for you guys. Axel
34:13
can't wait to be a big brother. Just love the co parenting they have
34:15
got. That's very nice, just the unofficial governor of North Dakota having a
34:20
baby. I still see so many people post photos of him when they see
34:24
him in public, and I'm like, guys, at this point, like
34:27
we all have seen him. It's just there's he just lives here. You
34:30
say that, but then if you were to see him, you'd probably be
34:34
like, oh, my gosh, I will say, I seem to be
34:36
the only one in town who has not run into him at the you know,
34:38
a bar. It's some small town in North Dakota. Yeah, he
34:42
just does his thing. Yeah, legendary hang on over by me one of
34:46
these times, a joshy boy. And ever heard of Elon Musk. I
34:51
forgot that they were a thing because there was a lot of rumors that maybe
34:53
he was the one foot in the bill for all of her legal bills,
34:57
and maybe he was the father of the kid. Yeah, there was a
35:00
lot of that. But we are now finding out in his autobiography or excuse
35:05
me, yeah, his autobiography that comes out today, or just a biography.
35:07
Yeah, it's a biography because he didn't write it right. That They
35:10
sat down for an interview not only with him, but also Amber heard and
35:15
he said that their relationship it was brutal. She says she still loves him
35:21
very much, adding that he loves fire and sometimes it burns him. Does
35:25
that feel like a cheating statement? No? I picture him just playing with
35:30
matches and firecrackers and stuff, and okay, she's like getting burned, but
35:32
it could be cheating. Arsonist is what you're thinking potential arsonist. You did,
35:37
and I know you're off yesterday, but did you see he had a
35:39
secret baby, So he has now eleven kids? That's because how many his
35:43
dad has like a ton of kids too, right, what is it with
35:46
them? They just I don't know, I don't know, but that's a
35:49
lot of babies. Can't keep up with it? Did you see the rumor,
35:51
speaking of babies, that pit Bull There was a rumor that pit Bull
35:53
may have like twenty one kids with eighteen women. Yeah, I mean at
36:00
this point, just a wild rumor. But one mister worldwide is literally and
